Anybody else get Fable 2? Have been playing it a couple of hours. Game is pretty good, but I am not seeing where it deserves the perfect 10 rating that every game site is giving it. Don't me wrong its a great game and all, but what does this game have that Oblivion doesn't? I mean it didn't get perfect ratings and I can't see myself playing Fable 2 as long as I did Oblivion.
Despite the Open World it seems kinda linear to me. I suppose I am still early in the game, but thus far it doesn't feel much different then Fable 1 other then the dog following me around. Still this is one of the better games I have played for awhile. If I had never played or heard of Oblivion I would see the reasoning behind the perfect scores. However unlike Oblivion you can't do ANYTHING in this game.
For example I got to a point where the Guard wants me to complete a task to continue. If it was Oblivion you could just kill the guard (or die trying) and find a way to get past his feeble barrior. However in Fable 2 you can't do nothing but shoot arrows through him (not harming him at all). For a game that has screamed of such a open world where anything can happen I find this kinda lame.
